I gave my brother a blank look: "Obviously you're laughing at me, huh." Then he touched the little girl's head, signaled to her that I understood, and told her not to worry.

The younger brother shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then pointed ahead and said cheerfully, "After the corner ahead, cross another road, and you will be in that alley." It seems that the entire alley is within the confines of the ancient tomb, but the entrance should be at the uncle's house, near the middle of the alley. ”

"Why are you so familiar?" I looked at him quizzically. You shouldn't be able to find them on the Internet, right?

"Because that's what I guess it's supposed to be." The younger brother said confidently, "I feel that my conjecture this time will not be wrong. ”

It's just powerless to complain. In order not to be angry with him, I chose to shut up and not participate in the evaluation.

"Then let's go. From here on, the three of us had to stay together all the time, and if we found something, we had to tell the others immediately, got it? After seeing that we all nodded, the younger brother waved his hand proudly in the posture of a leader, "Come on! Come with me! ”

I reluctantly took Mei Lai's hand and trotted all the way behind him.

Soon into the alley. Inside, because of the absence of the uncle and the existence of the aunt, it seems to be a lot quieter. I'm about to forget what that uncle's house was like, and I can only rely on my mutilated memories. It took me a long time with my brother to identify the uncle's house.

The younger brother pushed open the door of the house - without locking it. Probably because there are basically no people in F City now, there is no need to lock the door.

Mei Lai and I cautiously followed my brother into my uncle's house.

Truth be told, this house is very different from its eerie exterior, and the furnishings inside are simply outrageously exquisite. You can see how amazing the cost of the renovation is from many details, such as the large crystal chandelier that was built across the two floors to open up the second floor, and the exquisite murals in the form of hand-painted at the master level.

It is worthy of the person who discovered the ancient tomb in the first place...... My brother threw a smug look at me, as if to show off to me: I said it! He's the gravedigger! My guess was right!

I pretended not to see and tilted my head to the side to take a closer look at the room.

Because this area is full of small bungalows, there are only two floors at most. The uncle's house is designed with two floors, and although the second floor is only half, it seems that you have to go up to the second floor through an escalator made of suspended wooden planks.

But by this time all the planks had been removed, leaving only empty holes in the wall...... It is estimated that there is something on the second floor, and the uncle uses this way to prevent people from going up to the second floor.

But why not just lock the door? Wouldn't that be more reassuring? And it's easier than pumping the planks one by one......

I was in confusion when my brother suddenly called me.

"Sister, you step on my back and see if you can climb to the second floor." After the younger brother finished speaking, he immediately squatted down with great action.

I immediately had black lines all over my face: "What? Why do you have to go to the second floor? Running out of a better way? ”

"I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't find any antibacterial clothing, it must have been put on the second floor." The younger brother looked around the house again, "But I didn't find any tools that could help us climb up, so I had to try this method." ”

Although this house occupies a large area, it is extremely empty, and the decoration is all taken a simple route. The only thing that is more complicated is the crystal lamp. Indeed, looking at it, there was nothing useful at all that could help us climb to the second floor.

I looked at my brother's serious expression again and resigned myself to putting my foot on his back.

Although the second floor of this house is a little shorter than that of ordinary houses, it is still far from enough to climb to the second floor with the simple human scaffolding of the two of us. We tried several times and finally gave up exhausted.

At this time, Meilai, who had been squatting in the corner, suddenly interjected: "Brother and sister, why don't you find the entrance to that ancient tomb first?" ”

…… Oh, I haven't found that entrance yet. The entrance is the first thing to find, otherwise even if there is an antibacterial suit, it is meaningless.

The younger brother couldn't help but touch Meilai's head, and after complimenting her, he turned around to find the entrance.

I continued to stare at the ceiling at the bottom of the second floor, my brain racing to think of a way.

There aren't any ladder shops around here...... Should I go to my neighbor's house and see if there are any tools that can help? But would the neighbor be so careless about not locking the door? Anyway, since there is something that you don't want to be discovered, why doesn't the uncle lock the door at home? ……

That's when I noticed something slightly bulging on the wall.

What is it? I pressed it down curiously.

The originally empty hole in the wall suddenly stretched out a long wooden plank with a brush, forming a suspended staircase.

…… It's such a simple device.

The younger brother ran over when he heard the sound, and when he saw this scene, he analyzed it with a sigh: "Probably deliberately designed to have a hole in the wall to mislead us to find the wooden plank that was pulled out, it's hard for ordinary people to think that such a strange device would be installed at home, isn't it?" ”

I thought about it for a while. First of all, probably the environmental conditions of this house are limited, and there is no way to install too complex mechanisms, so it is estimated that the uncle thought of using this way. Even if such a simple device had been misled, as my brother had suggested, and had been looking for a ladder or a pulled plank or something like we had just done, it would not have been easy to find a way to go up.

On the contrary, if the uncle had deliberately covered up the hole in the wall at the beginning, it is estimated that the intruder who could not find the way up to the second floor would have easily guessed that there was a mechanism here. So in fact, this is already the best hidden design that can be done.

But alas, we still found out.

The two of us couldn't wait to run to the second floor, and Ru Meilai let out the wind on the first floor.

The second floor is indeed the same as what you see downstairs, it is relatively narrow, only half the size of the first floor, and the space is limited. But there are a lot of interesting things, such as some strangely shaped test tubes and labels, and something like a bacterioproof suit that my brother has in mind.

"So, is it true? ...... "Even though I saw it with my own eyes, I was still a little incredulous, and I covered my mouth and stared at my brother with wide eyes.
